This Thursday, September 21, at 5:00pm Pacific Time, I will be interviewing Eric S. Raymond in a live "Skypecast" that will also be recorded for later downloading.
Eric S. Raymond, known as "ESR" in the hacker community, "founded or re-invented ... the open source movement" (see http://www.catb.org/~esr/who-is-ESR.html) and remains a significant voice. He is the author of "The Cathedral and the Bazaar," a collection of essays which have played a significant role in the understanding and development of Open Source Software. We will be talking about the role of Open Source Software in the world of K-12 education.
A link to the Skypecast will be posted at http://k12opensource.wikispaces.com/Interviews 30 minutes prior to the show, and there will be 15 minutes made available for a Q&A session at the end of the show for anyone participating in the Skypecast. Questions for Eric prior to the show can be left at http://k12opensource.wikispaces.com/Raymond+Questions.
The recorded show will be available within a day or two at http://k12opensource.wikispaces.com/Interviews or http://edtechlive.wikispaces.com/Recordings+List. Previous interviews are available at those pages as well.
